Canon PowerShot A470 > Reviews

Advantages: Super quality camera with simple functionality and large LCD screen
Disadvantages: if you want all the gizmo's - don't buy an entry level camera

Despite the links to this product on this website - this camera retails at under £50 at Argos and I defy anyone to find it cheaper than that.

Advantages: The Flash
Disadvantages: The Video recording features

O.K This camera is fine. But there are a lot of advantages and disadvantages that I found while using this camera. The flash is realy good where as the actual camera itself is not.

If your looking for a camera that will take very high quality photo's with an easy to use digital camera this one is a bargain! The only thing that is a weak point on this camera is the zoom.

The battery cover will not open randomly, which I have had problems with before, as it has a sliding latch. The flash can be a little slow to warm up, but is fine if you don't want to take pictures every five seconds. The menu is very simply to use, which is very useful if you have had ... Read review
